Pushpay, the leading payments and engagement solutions provider for mission-driven organizations, launches its new App Studio, a mobile app designer and editor that delivers more flexibility and control for churches to amplify their ministry and facilitate digital connections with their community. New tools, intuitive actions, and a cohesive design simplify the church app experience for ministry teams and churchgoers.
Since its inception in 2011, Pushpay has built more than 24,000 mobile applications, and today's announcement is further reinforcement of the Company’s dedication to continued innovation and development of its purposeful technology. The new App Studio delivers a more modern and intuitive experience for Pushpay’s signature app features, including an updated app UI, drag and drop editing capabilities, content management and sharing, app analytics, and more.
"I love the new flow of the App Studio—it's intuitive, easy to use, and provides more flexibility for our ministry team,” remarks Ezekiel Perez, Executive Pastor at the Fountain Apostolic Church. “We heavily rely on our mobile app as one of the ways to maintain connection and engagement in our community—especially beyond our Sunday gatherings."
Mobile app adoption among the Church continues to rise as organizations pursue new ways to connect and engage with their community in a digital-first era. In fact, according to the 2023 State of Church Technology report, mobile apps ranked among the top five most strategically important technology tools for the future of Church. Data shows that the most popular uses for mobile apps are online giving, calendar management, content sharing, streaming worship services, and prayer requests.
“Many churches desire a turn-key ‘church in your pocket’ app experience, which our new App Studio enables, “ says Molly Matthews, Pushpay CEO. “The new features aren’t just about delivering a new and great experience for customers today. These updates pave the way for deeper integration with our other technology solutions and enable us to develop impactful enhancements faster as we address the dynamic needs of the Church in the future.”
This announcement also builds on several recent product innovations and enhancements that were announced in Pushpay’s quarterly product release. New features include multi-site event sync functionality, updates to Admin Permissions Reporting, the newResi On Demand platform and more. Lastly, Pushpay launched a new giving integration with Sage Intacct that allows churches to automate accounting processes and ensure accuracy transaction data. The integration automatically sends gifts, payments, and refunds from Pushpay Giving to the Intacct General Ledger, saving church finance teams countless hours per week. To date, Pushpay is the only church giving solution that integrates with Sage Intacct.
